Operations Manager Jobs in Greater Manchester

EASST is dedicated to making a difference in the field of road safety and sustainable mobility. Our mission is to save lives and prevent injuries by making road travel safer, greener and more sustainable for future generations. We work to support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through innovative international projects that aim to improve road safety standards, promote sustainable transport solutions, and create more inclusive communities through better mobility. Through a vibrant network of local road safety NGOs, we concentrate our efforts in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, where road deaths are particularly high and vehicle fleets are growing.

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Project Coordinator to join our dynamic team. This junior position is ideal for a recent university graduate or early career professional looking to work in the charity sector while contributing to meaningful work in road safety, transport, and sustainable development.

This is a remote role, and therefore, we are looking for someone adaptable, initiative-taking, and able to thrive in a supportive virtual work environment with strong problem-solving skills. You should be comfortable communicating and collaborating with team members online, managing your time effectively, and embracing the independence that remote work offers.

The role will require occasional travel to London / Kent, which is likely to be more frequent in the initial stages of the role.
